I am not sure that this made the net, so here it is again:
I think I have found a serious bug in 6.0.3 system from Apple. I cannot do
disk to disk (floppy) copies with my MacII. It has only its roms and an
800k drive. The FDHD is coming, but I have not gotten it yet....
Anyway, I try dragging either a file, folder, or whole disk; and it asks me for
the other disk. Probably some check routine.... At this point everything
freezes. I have dumped all inits and extraneous cdevs. No luck. It sticks
at the same place every time. This did not happen with 6.0.2 at all. Granted,
6.0.3 is for the SE, but I have an 030 daughterboard in my 020 socket running at
a high speed. I hoped the .0.3 might help with some appletalk garbage I was not
aware of... I even cleaned the drive, no dice.
Also, I got my (2) 2meg kits from Apple, and they were 100ns. I was wondering
if the 120 ns 256k simms are slowing things down, a lot? How fast can the ram
of a nubus board be accessed (100ns). Specifically, the National Semiconductor
ram board looks really nice. Is the 10Mhz of the NuBus a brake on the system?
Finally, how long until a 32bit system. What will crash and burn? Is it
true a 7.0b1 is with MPW 3.0 SADE? If you have it, what does it do?
For the net, the Dove Marathon 030 accelerators run A/UX if the FDHD roms are
installed. I think this means the PMMU will run in the rumored system.
If so, this is a cheap and fast way to 030-dom.
Thanks.

Does this mean that if we want to get PMM by putting an 030 board in a Mac II and updating to 7.x (whenever it comes out), we need to get new ROMs also?
